Aluminum PCB also named as metal clad (MCPCB) PCB,thermally conductive PCBs insulated metal substrate (IMS or IMPCB) PCB, , etc. It generally includes a single layer, double layer, and multi-layer. Aluminum PCBs are the most common type – the base material consists of an aluminum core with standard FR4. Aluminum PCBs are the solution to high power and tight tolerance applications.
• Environmentally Friendly: Aluminum metal is non-toxic and recyclable. Manufacturing with aluminum is also conducive to conserving energy due to its ease of assembly
• Good Heat dissipation Performance: Aluminum metal has a good feature of carrying heat away from core components, thus minimizing the unfavorable effect on the circuit board.
• Higher durability: Aluminum metal is both rugged and durable; it is ideal for daily use during manufacturing, freight, and packaging.
• Lightweight: Aluminum metal is an excitingly lightweight metal. Aluminum metal increases strength and resilience without adding on any additional weight.

Thick copper PCBs are usually laminated with a layer of copper foil on the glass epoxy substrate. So far, there is no clear definition of thick copper PCB. Generally, the PCB with a copper thickness of ≥2oz on the surface of the finished PCB will be called a thick copper board.
Most circuit boards use 35um copper foil, which mainly depends on the PCB application and the voltage/current of the signal. For PCBs that require high current, the thickness may reach 70um, 105um but rarely 140um. Thick copper PCBs have the best feature on elongation and aren’t constrained by the working temperature. Even in extremely corrosive atmospheres., Thick copper PCBs form a rugged, non-toxic passivization protective layer. Thick copper PCBs own below advanced features:
•Increased capacity of current
•Higher resistance to thermal
•Good heat dissipation
•Increases the mechanical strength of connectors and PTH holes
•Reduce product size

High-frequency PCB can cover the frequency range from 500MHz to 2GHz, and act as ideally PCB for handling high-speed signals. Traditional applications are radio frequency (RF), microwave, and communication. Teflon, FR4, or PPO are common materials of high-frequency PCB. Teflon is widely used in applications that normally exceed 5GHz with high performance. FR4 and PPO substrates are suitable for the product frequency range of 1GHz~10GHz at a lower cost. High-frequency PCB makes a difference in PCB design by owning below feathers.
• Adapted permittivity.
• Low attenuation for efficient signal transmission.
• Homogeneous construction with low tolerances in insulation thickness and dielectric constant.

HDI (High density interconnect) PCB is a printed circuit board with a higher wiring density per unit area than traditional PCB. The new technologies applied on HDI PCB include blind or buried micro-via technology and internal stack-up technology. Using HDI technology is a significant increase in packaging density. The most outstanding feature of HDI technology is its drastically increased packaging density. As a result, lesser size and PCB layers are needed compared with other PCB technologies. HDI technology makes the connection and routing more efficient in limited space, especially when routing between pins. Package types like FPGA or BGA can be connected in high quality. Below functions can be improved significantly by HDI PCB:
• Easier to place SMD components and more component space
• Faster routing
• More stable power
• Reduce interference inductance and capacitance effects
• Improve signal integrity in high-speed design

Rigid-flex PCBs are new types of printed circuit boards that own the durability of rigid PCBs and the adaptability of flexible PCBs. Among all PCBs, rigid-flex can withstand serious harsh application environments, which is favored by the medical and industrial industry. Rigid-flex PCBs differ from the original flex board and rigid board in raw material and manufacturing processes. Rigid-flex PCBs own the advantage of both rigid FR4 PCBs and flexible PCBs. In the rigid space, where electrical and electronic components will be soldered on, the whole board can bend in the flexible PCB space. That is to make the assembly more flexible and space-saving and keep tight trace designing. The benefits of Rigid-Flex PCBs are below:
• Save space and weight by applying 3D and removing connectors
• Assure higher reliability with fewer solder joints
• Simplified assembly and test processes.
• Provide simple modular interfaces to the system environment.
• Adapt to more complexity of mechanical designs
